Question 49

MediumOriginal question

At which point does the line through A(4,−1,3)A(4, -1, 3) and B(2,3,−1)B(2, 3, -1) have xx-coordinate 0?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. The direction B−AB - A is −2,4,−4-2, 4, -4, so the points of the line are (4−2t,−1+4t,3−4t)(4 - 2t, -1 + 4t, 3 - 4t).

  2. 4−2t=04 - 2t = 0 gives t=2t = 2: the point is (0,7,−5)(0, 7, -5).

Worth noting

(0,3,−1)(0, 3, -1) only replaces the xx-coordinate of BB by 0; that point is not on the line.
